Liberty isn’t supposed to look like this.
But when cruelty is enforced in her name, silence starts to feel like complicity.
This design takes a symbol of refuge and exposes the cost of abandoning it. The tears aren’t subtle. They aren’t abstract. They’re a response to detention, family separation, and the normalization of harm carried out under the banner of “law and order.” This isn’t metaphor for metaphor’s sake—it’s a reflection of what happens when enforcement replaces humanity.
Wear it because you refuse to pretend this is just politics.
Wear it because patriotism shouldn’t require looking away.
Or wear it because some images are meant to make people uncomfortable—and this moment deserves exactly that.
Liberty is watching. The question is whether we are.
